Spanish Inquisition

Catalog description

Explores the history of the Spanish and Portuguese Inquisitions from multiple vantage points. The focus is on Jews and Conversos, the main targets of the Inquisition's persecution, and on the dynamics of crypto-Judaism in Iberia and the Americas. But we will also consider the experiences of other groups targeted by the Inquisition such as Moriscos, Protestants, free-thinkers, witches, and different groups of non-conformists.
